New School Canterbury

This school is one of the best things to happen to our family. We moved to Canterbury a year ago so our two girls could attend New school and we've been so impressed with the care and education they have received so far. The teachers are brilliant and the community is very supportive. The setting is magical and the children learn to look after themselves, each other and the environment around them. It may have had problems in the past but the school now is a truly wonderful, caring and beautiful environment for any child to grow in, lead by a solid and professional team, dedicated to the nurture of the children.

My daughter absolutely adores this school. It's a friendly, safe, magical environment and the absolute antithesis to the stressful, crowded experience of most state schools. We're so pleased we're able to send our daughter here. Also, just to mention that the negative reviews here are talking about Canterbury Steiner School, not New School Canterbury. The school site may be the same but the way they're managed couldn't be more different.

I'm so pleased we chose this school. Our 12 year old is really thriving academically and socially. The teaching is excellent and the kids enjoy their learning. I'd recommend anyone considering the school to visit - speak to the staff, meet the students and parents and decide for yourself. Its really the only way to get a proper feel for a school.

As an ex-pupil I have happy and fond memories of my time at the Steiner school, I have nothing but gratitude for my Waldorf education and it has has shaped my future as well as further enhanced my higher educational studies. It fuels academic as well as creative direction for children and encourages the ideology and adventure of learning in to adulthood, I can not praise it's educational ethos enough.

This school has been transformational, not only our children but also for us as parents. We pulled our son out of mainstream school and sent him to New School Canterbury about a year and a half ago and never looked back. Our son is thriving and loves his school so much he sometimes wishes there wasnt a weekend! Our daughter now attends the beautiful Kindergarten and is happily settled. The staff are supportive and nurturing, the site idyllic and beautiful, and the sense of community throughout the school is evident. If you want your child to have a happy place to learn, freedom to be a child, to learn life skills as well as academics, and to be an all rounded human being, then I highly recommend this school. Were so glad we found this special place.
